Will any of the textures be getting overhauled? They look really low-res and fuzzy to me.

The engineering hull on the New Orleans is set too far forward. It needs to rest behind the centre point of the saucer.

Could be a varient or something else. And also those pods are too far from the ship anyways.

Yes the textures will be overhauled. The main thing at the moment is to get the ships ready for BC, texture work comes later. Majority of the ships will get their textures lifted from the Legacy version of Aftermath.

Even though I appreciate your retexturing work in Aftermath I think that doesn't change a lot. Most of the Legacy textures for the Federation are 512*512 and having a simple retexture, won't make it look less blurry. I think creating a completely new texture in higher resolution would be more effective.

For BC, these days a resolution of 1024x1024 is near minimum to be honest. Saucer textures should even preferrably be upwards of 2048x2048.

That's what I was meaning. I think new textures at [as Darkthunder stated] 2048 x 2048 would be best.

Best luck to all involved in this project.

heh I'd do all 3... get BC to use it's low/med/high options again!

512x512 / 1024x1024 / 2048x2048

I know a few people here who's systems don't like 2048x2048 (pointed out from the latest CG Sov re-texture)

Barihawk · « **Reply #70 on:** July 07, 2009, 04:51:11 PM »

1024 would likely be the maximum. As stated, our goal is not visual perfection, it's gameplay.

There are several high-end modern games that use 512 maps to great use, Fallout 3 being a good example.

Maxloef · « **Reply #71 on:** July 08, 2009, 12:09:23 PM »

time for some romulans ;)

Shino Tenshi · « **Reply #72 on:** July 08, 2009, 12:33:05 PM »

what's that 2nd ship?

Maxloef · « **Reply #73 on:** July 08, 2009, 12:52:51 PM »

A Romulan Science vessel

Starforce2 · « **Reply #74 on:** July 08, 2009, 01:05:29 PM »

are you doing the other variant, from the defector?

szekeres2008 · « **Reply #75 on:** July 08, 2009, 02:28:43 PM »

The warbird looks like if it was taken from legacy LOL

unfortunately BC is not one of them, I agree with neb, you should do High, Med and Low textures, but 512 should be the absolute lowest setting

nice science vessel. I like the wear and tear of the textures, though the Warbird's incorrect proportions make it a touch cartoonish.
